The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim has encouraged corps members to be an ambassador of the nation by rendering selfless service for national development and transformation.
He stated this at the NYSC Ekiti State Permanent Orientation Camp, Ise-Orun/Emure-Ekiti when he visited the camp during the 2019 Batch B, Stream “II” orientation course.
While congratulating them for the success in their final examinations and opportunity to serve their fatherland, he charged the corps members to pay attention and portray everything learnt in the orientation exercise throughout their service year.
The Director-General also charged the corps members to make it a point of duty to identify the community leaders, security stations in their various Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) and to be security conscious.
He added that corps members should always adhere strictly to the NYSC dress code and wear the uniform to their various Local Government for the Community Development Service activities.
However, Brig-Gen Ibrahim warned the corps members not to embark on unauthorised journeys out of their State of deployment.
He added that in recent times corps members have been involved in motor accidents, ” therefore it is mandatory to take permission from the appropriate authority before embarking on such a journey.”
